There are many problems in modern school education. In this article, I will give several shortcomings of information education in schools, as well as try to describe what solutions can be...
1. Insufficient professional development of teachers
I think everyone understands how fast the IT industry is changing, especially in recent times. If in terms of transferring from one number system to another or drawing up flowcharts everything is very static, then here are new technologies, trends, programming languages ββββand their paradigms - all this changes very quickly and so that the teacher can be in βtrendβ with students and understand what is happening around so that he can give interesting examples and make a lesson of high quality, for this the teacher must know a lot of things besides how to make from 3 11 or in OpenOffice Calc make a nice table.
Even if the curriculum only teaches Pascal, the teacher must also understand other modern, industrial languages, especially if there is a student in the class who is interested in programming.
Otherwise, the situation turns out as it is now, where a no longer young teacher monotonously provides information about what is needed in order to turbopascal Raise x to the power of 14.
Decision: local authorities min. The school and the school itself must have mechanisms and resources to ensure that not only send a teacher to general advanced training courses every year, but also sponsor his additional education, including private paid courses, even if they are foreign, so do not forget about books and other paid sources of new, useful information. Also, the legislation should give more freedom for enthusiastic teachers who want, for example, to give their students Python or C ++, and not impose Pascal, as in new textbooks for grades 10-11, where according to the Federal State Educational Standards, there is only the mentioned language.
2. Equipment class
I know that the classrooms in the new, newly built schools are very well equipped, but what happens in older institutions, for example, which were built before the war, is a contrast to say the least.
Old, scratched monitors, defective video cards with output artifacts, system units heating up like a blast furnace, dirty keyboards with missing keys - this is not a complete list of problems.
It is important not only and not so much the equipment itself and its external condition, but the fact that the capabilities of modern educational software are not used.
For example, there is a practical lesson on working with the notorious tables and the teacher has to run around the class, leaning over the monitors of the students, instead of through the same Veyor it was possible from your workplace and without fuss to deal with the student's problem - without shouting βCome over!β, without wasting time walking, etc.
Let's give another example of a lesson: a lecture session, the teacher stands at the blackboard and explains the material. Well, in most schools, despite the good progress in this topic, chalk boards are still hanging. Chalk dust enters the lungs and, with prolonged exposure, causes a chronic cough or something more serious. Also, in the lessons it is often required to show work with the program or a presentation, since projectors are already almost everywhere, and you have to choose either the projector screen or the board, although very often there is a need to mark or circle something, as you understand it is not possible to do this with the mouse especially convenient.
Decision: there may be different ways, if the equipment itself allows, then you can simply install the software, although again, everything can rest on the qualifications of the teacher. My suggestion is simple. In order for the school not to constantly wait for handouts from higher-ranking bodies to purchase equipment and due to the fact that it is impossible to directly demand or collect money (and I am against violations of the law), I think that it is worth establishing an NPO (fund), perhaps even the federal one, which, together with the school administration and the parent committee, will be able to create a project for some kind of modernization, and then collect donations from various sources - patrons, and even the parents of current students, of course, everything is voluntary.
Also, I think that it is necessary to go around and demand that local authorities allocate money. It is necessary to go at least with all the parental staff together with the administration to the reception and say what we want to fix or replace, this and that, perhaps even with an estimate.
3. Unwillingness to learn and a connected teacher
Many of the students in today's school simply do not want to learn. Yes, knowledge of the basics is necessary, and yes, this is connected not only with computer science.
Also, the teacher has been in a rather constrained position since they began to accept the Federal State Educational Standards, since in fact such a thing as a βteaching experimentβ is leaving and now everything is unified, so the teacher cannot somehow significantly expand or cut one or another topic, because if someone thinks of filing a complaint, then someone else may lose an already small bonus.
Decision: I believe that after a certain class, computer science should be an optional subject, since for the majority it is enough to learn how to work with the mouse, keyboard, the basics of algorithmization and the base in the work of office software. Dear reader, if you are a programmer, then I perfectly understand your thoughts that data types, their understanding, as well as loops, branches, functions and procedures are very important and interesting knowledge, but not for everyone.
Thus, the second problem can be solved by itself, since after submitting a single base, the teacher can be freed and given freedom in how and what to teach the students who have chosen the subject, for example, what programming language.
Conclusion: Naturally, there are many more common problems for the education industry, such as a lack of personnel. In this article, I analyzed and tried to provide solutions only for those problems that are the most obvious, understandable and blocking the learning process for me.
